Can a disagreement outside of work with a supervsor and my husband legally effect my job?
My husband and boss were in a partnership, a year ago, boss renigned, sued us, we lost. My position was “dissolved” along with three others. ONLY my duties changed, one resigned, the others are still doing their normal duties. I have never been written up and since the disagreement I have been written up three times. Had 3 days susupension for a minor infraction and was refused to be given a copy. I am a certified police officer in Texas and Jailer. I CANNOT have disciplinary actions on my record that are bogus. I go to work everyday in fear. THERE IS MORE!

It should not. Your relationships outside of work should not affect your position as a police officer. From what you've explained, it sounds as though you are being harassed and/or retaliated against simply due to those relationships. I would strongly advise you to seek the counsel of an experienced employment law attorney as soon as possible to discuss the matter in detail.
